Public Involvement and Co-Production in Research (Core,20 Credits)
The purpose of this module is to enable you to understand and explore the purpose, design, production and dissemination of research. You will also have an opportunity to consider how research may be co-produced by members of the public and be used to promote marginalized groups and increase inclusive practice. To achieve this, you will learn about contrasting methodologies, methods, analysis and possible impacts of research. It is hoped that from this you will be supported to play an active and authentic role in future research projects and be able to be critical of existing ones.

Building on Public Involvement and Co-Production in Research (Core,40 Credits)
Building upon the first module in this programme Public Involvement and Co-production in Research (PP0435), this module will enable you to utilise and expand your existing understanding of the purpose, design, production and dissemination of research. You will have an opportunity to further consider how research may be co-produced by members of the public and be used to promote marginalised groups and increase inclusive practice, particularly in your area of interest. You will also develop an understanding of the various roles where Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPI/E) and Public Involvement and Community Engagement (PICE) influences, governs, and shapes research/impact, developing associated skills and having opportunities to link with researchers and existing PPI/E structures. This will include aspects of bidding for funding, ethics and the critical review research findings. It is proposed that to make real change for people with lived experience there is a need to understand and develop research in a culturally sensitive and systematic way.
With guidance from your module tutor, and linked to your personal interests, you will create a portfolio of work around developing PPI/PICE. This will include a PPI/PICE plan, a lay summary and presentation. These will demonstrate an understanding of how ‘involvement’ is developed, run, and evaluated within studies. It is intended that from this you will be supported to play an active and authentic role in future research projects and be able to review existing ones.

Northumbria University is committed to developing an inclusive, diverse and accessible campus and wider University community and are determined to ensure that opportunities we provide are open to all.
We are proud to work in partnership with AccessAble to provide Detailed Access Guides to our buildings and facilities across our City, Coach Lane and London Campuses. A Detailed Access Guide lets you know what access will be like when you visit somewhere. It looks at the route you will use getting in and what is available inside. All guides have Accessibility Symbols that give you a quick overview of what is available, and photographs to show you what to expect. The guides are produced by trained surveyors who visit our campuses annually to ensure you have trusted and accurate information.
You can use Northumbria’s AccessAble Guides anytime to check the accessibility of a building or facility and to plan your routes and journeys. Search by location, building or accessibility feature to find the information you need.
We are dedicated to helping students who may require additional support during their student journey and offer 1-1 advice and guidance appropriate to individual requirements.
